Basketball: Its Origin and Development
James Naismith
Written by the inventor himself, who was inspired purely by the joy of play. This book describes Duck on the Rock, a game from the author's Canadian childhood; the reasoning behind his basket game; the eventual refinement of rules and development of equipment; the spread of amateur and professional teams; and the growth of women's basketball.
